That's a great question. On the surface, most innovations seem like they come with no downside, but there is always usually a few. For starters, there isn't much room for error with a hover backpack. If I am hovering 15 feet in the air the backpack better have no malfunctions. Another downside could potentially be people getting even lazier.

It will take a lot of testing for something like this to be available to the public, but soon enough we will all be able to obtain one!

Fair enough. I agree. There cannot be room for error as the consequences can only be dire.

It is a great project though. One to look forward to, certainly.
